COLUMBUS, Ohio — Backers of the Ohio Third Frontier are mounting a campaign to market the state’s biggest-ever economic development program to voters who will be asked to renew and expand the program in May.
Still in its formative stage, the campaign already includes a bi-weekly electronic magazine called HiVelocity, which partly aims to demystify Third Frontier by telling its success stories through people and businesses.
